| Description | The aim of the paper is to present the development of the Czech-Slovak border region and the results of the socio-economic analysis in the Czech part of this border region. The analysis of the 30-year development includes the formation of the state border and the institutional base, a summary of border research, a model of the borderland and the characteristics of three specific parts of the borderland. Cross-border cooperation is presented by the development of Euroregions and European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation. The analysis of the socio-economic situation of the Czech part of the Czech-Slovak border area consists of objective and subjective perspectives. For the objective view, the partial results of the project focused on the inner and outer peripheries were used. The main output is the classification of border municipalities according to the degree of development or peripherality. The comprehensive indicator was based on the selected socio-economic indicators (population development, economic development and transport accessibility). The subjective view presents the results of several survey investigations carried out in three sub-areas with different target groups dominantly in recent years. The surveys explored the perception of the border and borderlands, the content and importance of cross-border activities and cooperation, and the role and importance of Small Project Funds. |
